The Choice I Regret

What Next?

“I’m the one you should be wanting to kill, I never knew that you were going through all that, I was so stupid and I feel terrible. I should’ve known that you were that hurt.” I explain

She remains looking at the door as I her sniffle. Is she crying?                                                                                                

“Rach, look at me” I see bringing myself out of the chair to sit next to her on the bed so I’m facing directly in front of her.              

She wipes away her tears before looking at me and I can see her eyes are watery.  Slowly i bring my thumb to her cheek catching a falling tear that was gradually rolling down.

“Thank you for the flowers” she mumbles

“You’re very welcome” finally realizing that my thumb is still rubbing her cheek I decide to take it away and the look on her face was like she missed the contact

The room was dead silent again, neither of us knew what to say to each other. Looking around the room I finally notice the food tray in front of her.

“I’m glad to see you eating again” I smile at her and she automatically smiles back.

“that’s exactly what spencer said” I nod, knowing spencer would say something like that, in the cafeteria before she told me everything we were saying that we will both try and get Rachel to eat no matter what.

“She really cares about you, she was worried sick” I exclaim, while she looks down

“What about you? Were you worried about me?” she asks looking me in the eyes once again

“How could you ask that, of course I was? I was freaking out!” I cry

Looking down to avoid her eyes because I’m trying to avoid bawling my eyes out, I suddenly feel her hand on my hand. I look over to her hand and see her entwining her fingers into mine.

“I’m right here, you can’t get rid of me that easy” she giggles, I have been waiting to her that little giggle for so long and now I’ve finally heard it, it’s the only sound that makes my heart skip a beat.

“Finn you need to know that nothing is going between Sam and I” she sits up and starts rambling on.

“I know, and once again I feel terrible that I said those awful things to you.” She slowly calms down

“It’s ok” she leans over and kisses my cheek, her lips linger on my cheek savouring the moment.

“Oh, am I interrupting something?”  Of course spencer has to interrupt us now!

“No, not at all. Finn was just saving me from you putting on another episode of Pretty Little Liars” Rachel chuckles

“Ignoring that hurtful comment….. The doctor wanted to come in to talk to you, is that ok?” looking at Rachel I could tell that she really wished that spencer didn’t interrupt.

“Absolutely!” Rachel says lying back down on the bed, as I sit back down in the chair to wait for the doctor.  

A couple minutes later the doctor walks into the room flipping through Rachel’s file.

“Hello Rachel how you feeling?” Rachel looks at me and answers:

“Great!” the doctor nods and writes something down

“Good, hopefully you could get back on stage soon, my younger daughter is a big fan of you”

“Really? That awesome!” Rachel’s face practically lights up.

“We came to your show last year, you were amazing!” he forgets about the medical stuff and starts to talk to Rachel about her Broadway career

“Well I would love to meet her someday!”  Rachel says in way that makes it seem like a question, like she was asking if she could meet a fan of hers

“That would be great” the doctor agrees

“Yea, Rachel’s amazing with kids.”  I suddenly pipe up without thinking.

“Finn stop it!” I was not expecting Rachel to snap like that, I was giving her a compliment

“What, Rach I was just saying that you’re really good with kids; you’re going to be a great mother one day.”  And that was the moment when she was looking at me that I saw Rachel’s face change from a bright smile to what almost look like pure hurt. What did I say wrong? From hurt it changed to confusion. She then looked directly at spencer and said

“You didn’t tell him?”  Now I’m the confused one. What else is there to be told? 

I hope you liked this chapter. In the next chapter Rachel will explain everything that's happened.
